Futon Care

Your futon is constructed mainly from layers of natural fibre - cotton, wool and coco/latex.

Both wool and cotton are natural insulators which offer the qualities of warmth in winter and coolness in warmer weather; and of 'breathing' - allowing air to flow through the fibres and hence both body and atmospheric moisture to disperse.

Following these simple instructions will ensure your futon retains its quality and comfort.

Maintaining The Loft

When using your futon as a bed, turn the futon from head to tail and over (so that the side that was against the slats faces up.) Allow the futon to drop vigorously onto the slats when you turn it. We recommend doing this about once a week, when you change your bedding.

If you use your futon as a settee, turn it regularly to ensure that not always the same area is used as the seat.

Ocassionally, in suitable weather, you can drape your futon where it is exposed to the fresh air and sunlight for several hours. Caution: do not risk it being rained on!

Insulating Qualities

To ensure that the natural fibres function effectively as described above your futon requires a free circulation of air around it. This means that your futon should only be used on a suitable slat base* and in an environment that is not unduly damp.

*The Traditional futon is designed to be used in traditional Japanese fashion - directly on the floor and rolled up daily.
